Miss Hotchkiss, who has not, heretofore,
been connected with the Institution, comes to
us highly recommended, as a teacher of rare
qualifications. Among other testimonials the
following letter from Prof. Newman, of Union
College, New York, is an ample guarantee for
her ability and efficiency :
Union College, Dee. 211,1855.
Dkab Silt:—ln reply to your inquiry, I
would say, Miss Hotchkiss, I know to be emi
nently qualified for teaching. Her scalar,ship
is general and very thorough. She is enter
prising and ambitious-—loves to teach, and on
the whole, is the best qualified for it of any
lady I ever instructed. 1 speak thus confi
dently, because she was a pupil of mine some
four or five years. Truly yours,
JOHN NEWMAN.
Upon tho gen oral principle that nothing tends
more to impair and destroy the intellect, than
superficial habits of study, no young lady, in
this Institution will bo permitted to take up
studies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad
vance from a lower to a higher class until she
.has thoroughly mastered all that precedes.—
The mind that has not comprehended common
arithmetic and English Grammar, is but poor
ly qualified to grapple with the intricacies of
the higher mathematics, or the subtleties of
([metaphysics.
i£ Wc invite patronage, and wo intend to de
serve it; but we do not promise to make schol
ars in a day. While modern scienoo has al
most annihilated time and space, the mind
•retains only its original qualities and capalnl
- ‘dties. The Intellect, in its onward progress,
is still dependent upon the principles of asso
ciation, the powers of judgement and memory.
(fßeal advancement in knowledge now, as it has
been, is slow. jan4.

By the McCormick System of Education,
the reasoning powers are more expanded and
better cultivated in five months than by the old
system in five years.
Legitimate Education is tho object of this
College ; without the aid of Theology, Music,
duplicity, begging, fashion or foolery in any
shape whatever.
Three Rules will bo rigidly enforced: Ist,
early and punctual attendance; 2d, to learn
very fast; Brd, to behave remarkably well.
The only required preparation for admission
will be good character, over nine years of age,
and exemption from all illegal and base asso
ciation, and no students refused because of
being graduates.
An effort merely to please a people, being
the first stop towards duplicity and fraud, duty
alone will be the Polar Star taught; and no
Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.

THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative).
THE EDINOBURGU REVIEW (Whig).
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Froo Church).
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liboral).
BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
fJMIK groat amt important events—Religions, Political,
i “bd Military—now agitating tho nations of tho Old
World, give to these Publications an iutorest and value
they never bolero possessed. They occupy a mldillo
ground between the hastily written nows items, crude
speculations, and Hying rumors of tho newspaper, and
tho ]HinderoilH Tonto of the historian, written long after
tho living interest in the facts he records shall have
passed away. The progress of tho War in tho East occu
pies a large space in their pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all
short-comings fearlessly pointed out. Tins letters from
the Crimea and from tlie Baltic in Blackwood’s Magazine
from two of its most popular contributors, give a more
intelligible and reliable account of tlie movements of tho
great IsdligcroiHs that can elsewhere he found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great politi
cal parties of Great Britain —Whig, Tory, and Radical,
but politics forms only one feature of their character.
As Organs of tho most profound writers on Science, Lite
cut uro. Morality, and Religion, they stand, as they ever
have stood, unrivalled in the world of letters, being con
sidered indispensable to the scholar and the professional
man. while to tho intelligent reader of every class they
furnish a nioro Correct and satisfactory record of the cur
rent literature of tlie day, throughout tlio world, this
can he possibly obtained from any other source.
